Get rid of my Anxity (caused from DXM)





03.20.2012
Well alot of you know I have taken DXM and I had hard side effkts for a while, but the only things I really notice know the bad concentration and the fast heart beat oh and sometimes the depo (depersonalysation). I think the wiered eye site was caused though always driftinbg away and keeping my eyes open for like minutes without closing them, because now I try and close them when I start drifting away and everything has gotten way better with my eyes.

So Yeah the only think which is troublinhg me at the moment is the depo (I dont know if this is the cause for the bad concentration. Cause I really cant concentrate at one spot for more than 10 seconds without drifting away or noticing the floor or wall or seeling moving. Its like a waving movement. Like when you let a rock fall into the watter their little waves. something like that.) and the anxiety.

So since Anxiety is just feer shouldnt you be able to get rid of it if you can convince yourself that you shouldnt be scared. The only thing Im sacred about in this wholer thbing is that I ahve long term damages like bad short- and longterm memory. I have noticed that I am not as good in long term memory than I was before but I have a freeind who says he feels the same way (might just be becasue he has been smoking weed everyweekend in a waterpipe for the past 4 years.). Well I really dont bleive it got that much worse I can live with it this way. So if I convince my self their is nothing to feer about will the Anxiety go away on its own. Cause I went to the docter not telling him the cause of the fast heart beat and he thought it was a grouth problem .... Yeah that plain has taken of for me.


Well So Im gonna keep updating this and Ill write the date next to it.


thakns for reading and remember I will reply to any post on this thread so come abck and check for my reply

Laying in bed with a hard heart beat. My thoughts are still kind of wieerd I picture instead of thinking in words. I have not felt this normal since the last past 9 weeks yet. So I think everything is getting better

Lars, still having problems?

From what I read, it doesn't sound to me personally that you did any major damage to your brain. Maybe what happened is that you triggered some depersonalization. Depersonalization does cause anxiety because it scares people.

If you really are that concerned with it, you need to come clean with your doctor ASAP.

i know exactly what you mean there dude

my only solution for the anxiety is to put on some music you like. if you can't find any music you like then hit up your friends and the internet until you find a band that catches you like music used to catch you when you were a young teen.

Trance is good music!

You say that you are scared that you may have damaged your short and long term memory...and that if you convince yourself that there is nothing to fear it will all go away. For both of these, it is important that you just stop thinking about it. I know that is nearly impossible to do once you want to do it (like...don't think of pink elephants! now you're thinking of pink elephants). The best thing you could do right now is to find something that grabs your attention. This could be movies, a good book, a sport, hiking, cooking, hanging out with friends...the list is endless. And do these things constantly. Once your mind become preoccupied with all this, you will eventually realize "Huh...I haven't thought DP or memory problems in a very long time!" and then it just become a passing thought.

Lars, I really think that getting some help from real techniques that you can practice, like CBT and mindfulness, would help your anxiety immensely. Have you tried to see if there is anyplace where you can get that kind of help? Right now your anxiety is focused on the possible lasting effects from the drugs but I suspect that it could be deeper than that in your life in general. Have you ever done any concrete therapy specifically targeting anxiety?

I am going to a docter a normal docter and I told him I have a fast heart beat I didnt tell him why. He says its probably just a growth problem. (I really had to try not to laughf on that one) I meen what a beginner diagnose! But he said hes doing more tests I told him sometimes when I do sport and its really hard I can hardly breath. He though it was my lungs but I told him that it was most probably not my lungs. Im gonna leave it to him to find out what I have but I am gonna help him with good tipps

Your right I do belive my anxiety has deeper meaning and I will explain why in a moment. I think DXM only spead it up and made it stonger. But most ex DXM-users have anxiety deficietes. Well I belive that my Anxiety has deeper sproblems than only being scared of having long lasting effekts. After taking it the first time (I only took a first pletau beginner dose which was recomended) or the second time (beginning of second pletau trip) I had a fast heart beat. I though it was a sleep difizit because I was in a fight with a ex friend. So I always went ot bed with this fast heart beat and I really only felt it when I went ot bed.

So yeah I really dont know but as soon as Im 18 Im going to a therapist if I still have the problems then.

Hi there, lars.

I'd like to reiterate herbavore's suggestion to attempt CBT or, especially, mindfulness. In actuality, with regards to anxiety, avoidance is neither a recommended, nor a proven effective, technique at relieving the stress of feeling anxious. Close and honest examination of the feelings, on the other hand, has proven to be the single most effective method of diminishing anxiety in my own life. Check out our Mindfulness Thread for some practical examples of some members' experiences with it!

Do you belive I could do this without of the help of an therapist because if I can do it alone I am happy to try. And just not thinking about it might have not worked because you probaly have a dirfent type of feer than me. I meen for all that I know I pretty much scared of nothing but the long term effects in the moment. But It might go deeper way deeper like when I was a jung kid I was oftenly bullyed but I hardly think that that could be the cause but Im not the one with the experince am I?
